yellow warbler

Bright golden finch-relative

A yellow warbler is a small North American songbird, bright yellow with reddish streaks on the male's breast.

Common across the continent in summer, it favors shrubby habitats near water.

The yellow warbler is among the most frequently parasitized hosts of the brown-headed cowbird, sometimes building new nest floors over cowbird eggs rather than raising the intruders.
